Halloumi in a Pita

Halloumi cheese is one of my favourites and I am sharing this easy recipe/instruction for making a Halloumi in a pita.

The cheese is the protein here, making it a good substitute for the usual meat filling.

I like pan-searing the Halloumi but you may grill or even fry if you wish.

Here, I am cutting the Halloumi into batons so they fit better into the pita wrap. Enjoy!

Halloumi in a Pita

(serves 1)

2 thick slices of Halloumi cheese

Tzatziki

sliced tomatoes

sliced red onions

some leafy greens (say baby arugula)

1 pita bread

1. Cut your Halloumi into batons (giving you four). Place a non-stick pan over medium heat. Treat the pan with cooking spray or drizzle some oil. Place Halloumi batons in the pan and brown on all four sizes until golden.
2. Remove from heat. Transfer your Halloumi to a plate.
3. Warm pita bread on both sides (using same pan) and remove from heat.
4. Place a square of aluminum foil under your pita bread.
5. Assemble your wrap by smearing some tzatziki, place Halloumi in the pita followed by tomatoes, onions and leafy greens.
6. Use the foil to help you roll your pita and plate/serve.
